RemoteView is an electronic light table application, initially developed and released commercially by Sensor Systems in 1996. An electronic light table application makes it possible for imagery analysts to review satellite images on a computer instead of examining film or printed photographs.
Remote viewing (RV) is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen subject, purportedly sensing with the mind. [1] There is no scientific evidence that remote viewing exists, and the topic of remote viewing is generally regarded as pseudoscience .

The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is a Japanese remote sensing instrument onboard the Terra satellite launched by NASA in 1999. It has been collecting data since February 2000. ASTER image of Rub' al Khali (Arabia's Empty Quarter)
Cable giant Comcast, hoping to build a new bridge to the streaming-centric video landscape, this week announced the availability of the Xumo Stream Box — a device it’s providing for no extra ...
Inertial guidance is difficult without computers. The desire to use inertial guidance in the Minuteman missile and Project Apollo drove early attempts to miniaturize computers. Inertial guidance systems are now usually combined with satellite navigation systems through a digital filtering system. The inertial system provides short term data ...
The Land Remote-Sensing Commercialization Act was repealed by the enactment of the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992. [2] [3] The legislative repeal was passed by the 102nd U.S. Congressional session and enacted into law by the 41st President of the United States George H.W. Bush on October 28, 1992. [4]
